After a while, Vivian came in and also joined them while they were laughing, Ryan took pictures of us at the dining including Ava but suddenly Ryan saw something on Vivian’s chain “Wait what’s that?” he asked as he dropped his phone.“Where?” Louis asked, Ryan slowly walked towards Vivian and removed her chain“Damn we are being watched ”Ryan saidVivian flinched “how did it get there?” she asked“Where did you buy this from?” Ryan asked“She didn’t buy it, she has this chain at home and for a while it has been on her neck” Louis explained“Did you hug someone? Maybe someone who is smart or skilled it might be placed on your neck through a hugLouis and Vivian went silent for a while and they remembered they went to Mira's place.“Mira” Louis said her voice firm, Ryan destroyed the chain while Kian went silent.“What do we do?” Vivian asked, but Kian wasnt bothered“Dont worry about anything, Its fine and thank Goodness you caught a glimpse of it so fast” Kian saidAs the night wore o
It was about 45 mins to go, Kian already ordered the driver to go pick my dad up, the maids cooked something nice and all of them were expecting him, after a while I walked to the bathroom and has a nice bath, dressed in a free gown expecting my dad.The driver called that he had seen my dad, so they are on their way back to the mansion. I walked outside because I was Anxious so Louis walked out with me including Ryan because they were also excited to meet my dad.As we stepped outside, I saw the car coming towards us, my heart filled with excitement and joy. The driver stopped and parked opposite the mansion, and I could see my dad smiling at me from the front seat. I stepped forward to meet him, but before I could even take another step, I heard a blast.Everything happened so fast. I fell back, my ears ringing from the explosion. Ryan and the bodyguard tried to protect me, shielding me from the chaos. Louis pulled out her gun, searching for anything suspicious.But I didn't care ab
Everything began to happen so fast, while Mira was in labour, julian didn’t show up because he never loved Mira he only used her for his own benefit.Mira's eyes welled up with tears as she lay in the labor room, her mother standing anxiously at the entrance. The doctors and nurses surrounded her, urging her to push."Push, pushhh!" they yelled, but Mira couldn't muster the strength. She was mentally drained, her body weak from the ordeal."You can do this, you have to keep pushing Mira, the baby is almost our. Mira! Push!" the doctors encouraged, but Mira felt like she was running on empty. She was exhausted, her spirit crushed by everything she had passed throughBut then, something inside her stirred. She thought of her baby, her precious little one who depended on her for survival. With a newfound determination, Mira summoned every last bit of strength and pushed.The room fell silent, except for the sound of Mira's ragged breathing and the beeping of the machines. And then, sudde
Martha and Mrs George heard about the death of Annie, they became furious and angry, this their time to act Miss Kate walked to the mansion she gave her daughter, she saw a note inside her daughters wardrobe, she read everything and shed tears, she began to regret that she made her marry Julian, and with that she picked her phone and made a call.“Find Julian, and also make it look like it was a suicide one“ she ordered and with that she wiped her tears and walked away from mansion, leaving the paper alone on the table.Kian called for a board meeting, Mr Robert and the rest of the board meeting heard about Julian’s death and was devastated.“I am losing my patience, I can’t let the company just be without a head” Kian said his voice firm and lowThe rest of them kept quiet because this was the first time Kian would call a meeting, everything they said behind his back, they weren’t bold enough to say it to his face as they were talking about choosing Kian as the CEO and having a pres
After Vivian woke up, she kept silent when everyone was talking to her and asking her about how she is feeling, all she was thinking about was Louis.“Vivian…” Kian whispered to her, but Louis just went silent she didn't say anything.Ryan on the other hand was happy at the same time sad“Louis is dead… she is gone” Vivian murmured silently, while Kian's face fell, he didnt know how to comfort her at that moment.“I told you to let her stay here” Vivian added crying, and suddenly stood up “I want to go home” Kian held her “Hold on Vivian you arent strong enough to go home yet, just wait for some days at the hospital so you can get enough treatment” He said to her as he held and pulled her back to the bed, but Vivian pushed him back.“Where is Louis's body?” She asked her voice barely above a whisper“Her.. b.. her body has been buried by the Mancini family” Ryan said her voice shaking Vivian gazed at him “Why should it be like that?” She asked as tears began to roll down her cheek“
VIVIANI stood in front of my art piece, Anticipation taking the best of me.The gallery was filled with people,their hushed conversations and murmurs kept seeming into my earsToday is one of the best day of my life..if not the best. ,I've never felt so fulfilled, happy and filled with so much life. This art piece is my life,my work of three months. I've dedicated my time and my heart into making itI gazed at my installation- a canvas of torn fabric,broken chains and splattered paint. I felt so proud and vulnerable. This was my declaration of independence,my refusal to be bound by the chains of conformity.The crowd began to disperse,and a group of art critics and collectors gathered around my installation,their keen eyes assessing each details of the pieceMy anxiety grew up. I knew this was the moment,the moment I've been waiting for my whole life. My chance to make a name for myself,a name that is not Everhart.The fist person that stepped forward was James.He's a popular critic
VIVIANI glanced at my car,parked in the driveway,and for a moment,the temptation to flee in the familiar comfort of its embrace was almost overwhelming but my pride repelled against the idea,I wouldn't use anything my father had given me. Not now,not after what he said.I knew my father said that statement thinking I'd change my mind but no,I'm never going backWith a heavy heart, I hailed a cab and gave the driver my best friend Vera's address. I had nowhere else to go, no one else to turn to. Vera had always been my rock, my confidante. She would understand. She would take me in and help me pick up the pieces of my shattered life.As the cab stopped in front of Vera's apartment building, I paid the driver and got out. I trudged up the stairs, feeling like I was walking to my own execution. My legs felt heavy, my feet dragging on the ground as I approached her door and knocked,there was no answerI frowned, confusion gnawing at the edges of my mind.She couldn't have gone anywhere,t
KIANI sat at my desk, sipping my coffee and gazing out the window at the city skyline, my mind focused on the upcoming business deal with the Forsythes.Suddenly, my phone rang, shattering the silence. I groaned as I reached for it, knowing exactly who it was. My grandfather's name flashed on the screen, and I hesitated for a moment before answering."Kian, we need to talk"He said, his voice firm and commanding.I sighed, rubbing my temples. "What is it, Grandfather? I'm busy.""Busy?"He repeated, his voice laced with disapproval."You're always busy, Kian. But this can't wait. You need to get married. You're 30 years old, and you still haven't settled down with a suitable wife."I rolled my eyes, feeling a surge of frustration."I've heard this before, Grandfather, and my answer is still no. I'm not going to marry some woman just to please you and the family. I have my own life to live.""Your own life?"He repeated, his voice cold and menacing. "You're a Blackwood, Kian. You ha
